#4. THE ISLAND OF DOLLS

by Cordelia Persen

South of mexico city, you can find a small island known as the island of dolls. In this island, you would be able to see hundreds or even thousands of rotting dolls with severed limbs or decapitated heads hanging from the trees.

They would have lifeless eyes that seem to follow you around. Some people have reported hearing whispers between the dolls.

Why are there dolls in the trees? It happened when one man, who was the caretaker of the island called Don Julian found a young girl drowning in one of the island’s stream.

He was too late to save the girl that he became a bit loose in the head with the obsession of the girl. He said that the first doll he put on a tree was from a doll he found drifting in the stream the girl died in. In respect for the girl and hoping the girl could rest in peace he started collecting dolls and hanging them on the trees.

After years of doll collecting, people started seeing the place as haunted. Or just creepy from the lifelessness of the dolls just hanging in the trees. And now tourists can put more dolls on them and just get creeped out as the other dolls accepting the new one they brought.
